Live Action, the group responsible for the video, has released extended footage proving Planned Parenthood's claim false. In the extended footage, a Planned Parenthood counselor, "Sonia," after coaching the 14-year-old to obtain a judicial bypass waiver for her abortion so her parents will not find out about her sexual relationship with the older man, asks the girl, "What is your name? So I can call them and tell them you're coming." Lila Rose, the president of Live Action who is posing as the 14-year-old, says her name is "Janelle Marion", spelling out the last name for her, and tells the counselor she was born on July 27. On Tuesday, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin CEO Teri Huyck claimed, "In this particular circumstance, we did not have the name of the young woman. She did not give it to us. She did not provide any ID. So we were unable to make any report." On Wednesday, Huyck again said there was nothing Planned Parenthood could do: "Assuming this patient gave us her name, we would report it," she said. "The so-called patient in this case did not provide identifying information. In fact, she refused." Huyck said, "It would've been difficult if not impossible to make any kind of report." Rose, a 21-year-old student at UCLA, says the video shows Huyck's statement is false: "Planned Parenthood had the little girl's name and birth date -- more than enough information to make a report. As they have done consistently in the past, Planned Parenthood chose not to report the abuse, and now they are lying to cover up that fact."
